3rd instar larvae of the melanotic tumor tu-pb strain of Drosophila melanogaster hold a lower number of free-circulating crystal cells in their hemolymph than the wild type ones. This pattern could result from an abnormal retention of mature crystal cells in the hematopoietic organs, as the strong hemocyte melanization inside the lymph glands of heat-treated tu-pb larvae seems to demonstrate. Melanotic tumor formation and modification of the crystal cell pattern may be related.
黑腹果蝇黑色素瘤tu-pb品系的三龄幼虫，其血淋巴中游离循环的晶细胞数量比野生型幼虫少。这种模式可能是由于造血器官中成熟晶细胞的异常滞留所致，因为热处理后的tu-pb幼虫淋巴腺内强烈的血细胞黑化现象似乎可以证明这一点。黑色素瘤的形成与晶细胞模式的改变可能有关。
